Stoobalou writes "A Californian Playstation 3 user has filed the first class action lawsuit against Sony over removal of the 'Install Other OS' function from the Playstation 3. The action seeks to redress Sony's 'intentional disablement of the valuable functionalities originally advertised as available with the Sony Playstation 3 video game console.' The suit claims that the disablement breaches the sales contract between Sony and its customers and constitutes 'an unfair and deceptive business practice perpetrated on millions of unsuspecting customers.'"

Did you notice that you were replying to an anecdote about the agency in question getting results?

ps. Another thing that pops to mind: Maybe you are from the USA, while not everybody else is?

Well hello there Mr. Obnoxious American. Now, as you may or (more likely) may not be aware, the English language was invented right here in little old Britain. We spell it tyre. You're entitled to mispell it as tire if you like, but every time you do we Brits have a quiet chuckle to ourselves, roll our eyes at our backwards cousins across the Pond and carry on in our usual dignified manner.

No, tire is what happens when Brits are repeated subjected to Americans trying to correct British spelling into the peculiar bastardized American dialect. The poster even made it clear he was British, so there's no point criticising his correct spelling. And yes, before you get uppity, "criticising" can be spelt with an s. And yes, spelt is correct too.

Maybe, but who better to file a lawsuit than an American. They have taken the whole Damages and compensation to astronomical levels. If THAT doesn't scare Sony into honesty, they have balls of solid Carbon fibre wrapped titanium.

I like to think of myself as a typical obnoxious American, and I found your post quiet amusing. Really put some color into my day.

I haven't had any problems with Sony in many years. They have always lived up to my hope and expectation. Not once since I stop buying any products or services from them have they done me wrong. We have a much better relationship these days.
